Harry Keith Tiffany

Harry Keith Tiffany (born July 2, 1948) was a man whose life was marked by service — first to his country in the U.S. Navy and later to his San Diego community as a patrolman. Those who have recorded his memory remember a career path rooted in protecting others: after naval service he worked with the Port of San Diego Harbor Police and, beginning in 1979, with the San Diego Police Department.

Tiffany’s time in uniform reflected a commitment to public safety and to the everyday, often unseen work of policing neighborhoods. Colleagues and memorial records note that he served on patrol in San Diego for two years before his death. Off duty he was a husband; public records indicate he was survived by his wife, and community memorials honor that relationship alongside his professional service.

Community and law-enforcement commemorations describe Tiffany as part of a close-knit cohort of officers who responded to routine neighborhood calls — the kind of work that connects an officer to local people and places. Memorials that list his name emphasize his courage and the cost of service, while also preserving the memory of a life that encompassed more than the final moments recorded in police logs.

Public remembrances and law-enforcement honor rolls — including the California Peace Officers’ Memorial and San Diego-area memorial pages — preserve Tiffany’s name and date of passing so that family, friends, and the public may acknowledge his service and sacrifice. These tributes place his life in the context of long-standing community ties and dedication to duty.

While public records about personal hobbies or extended family are limited in available sources, the facts that are documented — his naval service, his work with harbor and city police, and his marriage — portray Harry Keith Tiffany as someone whose adult life was defined by commitment to others. He is remembered with respect by memorial organizations and by the San Diego law-enforcement community. His name endures on memorial plaques and honor rolls as a reminder of a life spent in service and of the human connections that underlie community safety.
